Yep props there!

I hope everyone is still paying attention.

Aggies aren't good. Or, at least, this doesn't do anything to prove if they are or not.

All that is proves is the same thing that was proven last time: Sloane is so broken that the rest of her list doesn't matter. She could probably carry 1.0 HWKs to a major title.

Sloane is a force multiplier to be sure, but a 28pt 180 arc ship is excellent filler.

Yeah, I’ve actually been very pleased with the cheap Aggressors with Ion Turrets. Sometimes a cheap filler ship with a turret can do a lot of work.

I'd like to see them do well without Sloane...

But really, I'll just take this opportunity to say Feroph is obviously excellent and all y'all who said the Reaper was bad have always been wrong.

I don't care what the evidence is, I have my narrative and I'm sticking to it.

Feroph is....not good, or bad, but situational.

It's one of the best pilot abilities going (defensively), which combined with great speed and manouvrability for something with two crew slots (she's not 'good' but compare her to a YV-666, Lambda, Upsilon or Transport and she's a freaking TIE interceptor (especially with Ion Limiter Override giving her barrel rolls).

Her value is as a VIP transport - which is directly connected to the existance of a VIP worth transporting. Imperial support officers - the Emperor, Admiral Sloane, Tarkin, Ciena Ree, they're all superb for the appropriate squad build. But they're also not hyperspace legal - where the only equivalent is Krennic or maybe Death troopres, and I'm not sure they justify Feroph's price by themselves.

Yes/no. Depends who you use. I've been flying them on and off for the whole of 2.0 and I love em.

Pretty awkward in HS atm, where any larger 60pt ship with limited defence/tricks will struggle, but still almost usable and it can certainly do a shift in Extended, with or without crew.

I keep returning in my head to TIE Aggressors with Ion Turrets being very "on paper" similar to the same-cost Ion Cannon Cartel Spacers. Similar offense, similar toughness, similar actions, white dial. Seems like the Ion Scyks is widely accepted as good, but the Ion Aggressor can't get no respect.

As a man who a *loves* Ion Scyks and only *likes* Ion Aggressors the main issue is lack of R3 coverage

That said, Ion Aggressors are still good and it’s an Ion turret in my current Imp list.

I think it's also important to note that Agressors with turrets are particularly powerful with Sloane because they make it practically impossible to hide ships with stress because of the 180 arc, and it's also much easier to focus down those stressed pilots

I've flown this a few times and its pretty good.

I herfed and I derfed and should be utterly disregarded

I played Lt Kestal in Mario Kart and it was pretty amazing. Someone took Soontir Fel and I was able to Ionize him all day long. Fel died by ionizing into a wall.

It's a shame that the new missile pods from the Separatists Roomba is so expensive. They could be really good to increase firing arcs for more time on target. No reload, though.
